… Then Ship it

When you ship your game, you pay 5% of gross revenue.* This means we succeed when you succeed. Epic Games is in the business of making Unreal Engine work for you.

*Here’s some fine print that’s actually good.The 5% royalty starts after the first $3,000 of revenue per game per quarter.

If you’d rather not pay a royalty, we can discuss custom terms that suit your needs.

For film projects and contracting and consulting projects such as architecture, simulation and visualization, you don’t pay a royalty.
